Over the weekend, two former Tennessee Vols made some noise
in the world of golf.

Philip
Pettitt, Jr., a 2008 graduate, played a marvelous weekend of golf. He
finished tied for 3rd in the Neediest Kids Championship at TPC
Potomoc in Potomac, Maryland. The Web.com Tour event was held Thursday, Oct. 4th
- Sunday, Oct. 7th.

organization that helps low-income students in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and
Virginia obtain the basic essentials they need so they can get the education
they deserve. All net proceeds from the weekend event will enable Neediest Kids
to help more children in their communities succeed in school. More information: click

Pettitt navigated the course at Avenel Farm spectacularly, shoot
a four round total of 274 (-6). His 6-under par performance netted the former
Vol a nice payday of $34,800.

blazing with a first round of 66 (-4), but then cooled down in the second round
with a 71 (+1). He finished out the tournament with a 68 (-2) and 69 (-1)

Garrick
Porteous, a 2012 graduate, also put in some serious work this
weekend. Porteous was selected to play for his home country of England in the World
Amateur Team Championship.

Oct. 7th in Antalya, Turkey at the Cornelia Golf Club and the
Antalya Golf Club.

The former Vol finished tied for 62nd by shooting

the tournament, which saw the United States take top prize. The England team shot
a total of 418 (-10) and did well to finish in 8th considering

Former Vol golfer Robin Wingardh won the First Qualifying Stage Section C at
Circolo Golf Bogogno in Italy.

Wingardh was two shots clear of South African Dylan Fritelli after his two-under par
final round (70).

Earlier in the week, Wingardh came out determined and focused as a six-under par opening
round of 66 handed him the lead after first day of play. He added a second round score of 69 before a five-under par third round of 67 kept
him on top in Italy.

The former Tennessee golfer is a native of Morarp, Sweden and graduated in 2011.

Low credits Rogers for having "unlimited physical tools" and says he should "own the middle of the field this season with (Justin) Hunter and junior college newcomer Cordarrelle Patterson doing their thing on the outside."

Rogers finished with 1,040 receiving yards and nine touchdown catches en route to being named to the 2011 Associated Press All-SEC First Team.

$27,500.00, nearly doubling his season earnings. The finish was his best in
2012 and the second top-10 placement in his career.
